jubbathehutt Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hey everyone, so I've been using Paint.net off and on for the past year or so, and have to say I love what I can do with such a great program (especially one that is "free"). I've decided to try my hand at what can be done with a tablet, rather than a mouse. I was curious if anyone else may use a tablet and can give me any and all impressions. This of course is assuming tablet compatibility is there and stable. I'm looking to pickup this particular tablet: http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-CTL460-Bamboo-Pen-Tablet/dp/B002OOWC3I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1264129800&sr=8-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Paint.NET will work with a tablet, but it does not respond to pressure sensitivity.

jubbathehutt Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 I assume "pressure sensitivity" is in reference to the "touch" feature? In other words, I should be able to use the pen just fine, but not "hand suggestions"? Should it be just plug n' play, no drivers released specifically for PDN for use of tablets?

pyrochild Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Pressure sensitivity means the drawn line gets thicker as you press the pen harder, and thinner with a lighter touch.

jubbathehutt Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 Ahhhh, thanks for clearing that up (makes sense to me now ;P) I guess that's not a deal killer, but it sure as hell would be nice if it was an available feature. I assume PS offers this feature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I don't know. Ask Adobe? Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kemaru Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Yes, it does. So does GIMP. Quote Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule. |fb(page)|portfolio|blog| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jubbathehutt Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 Thanks again gents. I decided to treat myself and ordered it. Going to try it out next week with good ol' PDN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
